FALL 1983
"Mr. President," yelled the Pi Kapp delegate as he quickly rose before his chair,"I move that Frank Havard, chairman of the local Supreme Chapter Committee, be elected as National Social Chairman." "Is there a Second?" said the smiling Lonnie Strickland,"All in favor?". The room echoed a thundering hand clap as each Pi Kapp stood in appreciation of what the entire local committee had done the past five days. The sound of the gavel opened and closed what many considered the "best Supreme Chapter" ever. The theme for the Supreme Chapter was a "Commitment to Excellence"and excellence was certainly achieved. Topping the list may be the social events. Every day was filled with activities to bring Pi Kapps together. Saturday night's get-together that followed the opening banquet was an experiment in having fun without spirits. Sunday's sunshine found the Pi Kapp's on the beach at Dolphin Island and in the waters of the Gulf Coast. Sunday night brought lots of red faces and burnt backs. Dog Day Afternoon was on a Monday as delegates of the 39th Supreme Chapter were taken via Trailways to see the Greyhounds at the race track. Full smiles accompanied many empty wallets. Cheers and yells could be heard as our sure winners won or, unfortunately, lost. All this led to the final Coup de Gras at the Mardi Gras Ball held Tuesday night. In a sea of Black Tux and long shining gowns 600 people were entertained first by the Le Crew de Bienville who perfomed the Mardi Gras Ball tableau. Two bands alternated playing music so that the dancing never stopped. At 2:00, when the last song was played, very few dancers were ready to quit. In fact, the traditional 505 Club kept good times rolling back at the hotel. There was also the serious side of the 39th Supreme Chapter. "Commitment to Excellence" was taken seriously by each delegate as major changes for the good of the fraternity were made. The 39th Supreme Chapter was dedicated to the memory of Ben Covington, George Grant, and Chic Quevedo who joined the Chapter Eternal this year. Chic Quevedo was further honored as the prestigious Beta Circle Award was created in his honor to be awarded to the man who has given of his time, money and energy to the expansion of this fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi, while wishing this was not a problem, is attacking the abuse of alcohol and other substance use in our fraternity. In an Alcohol Policy Position Pi Kappa Phi states that "Pi Kappa Phi views alcohol abuse as a serious personal problem..." A strategy for solving the problem was approved. Alcohol abuse will be included in each associate members education program and the Warden will make a similar presentation to the chapter. At least one rush function for each rush period must be without alcohol. Chapter Advisors are to receive information on alcohol and monitor both the chapter use of and the Warden's program on alcohol. Each Chapter Consultant will be trained in the problems of alcohol and be cognizant of each chapters use of alcohol. The Commitment to Excellence became evident in both external and internal expansion. The Supreme Chapter dictated to the Administrative Office that expansion should take place in three ways. One, that expansion emphasis should be in California and Texas. Second, that a third chapter should be instigated in states that presently have two chapters. Third, that the National Council is to make a concerted effort to re-establish at Duke University. Internal Expansion was an expression of "Commitment to Quality". The students have asked the National Council to rigidly enforce the minimum chapter standards, and then they raised those standards: The minimum chapter number was increased from 20-25 or the average of the school but never less than 15; the minimum chartering number was raised to 30 men. Perhaps the most intriguing change was in the ritual. The 39th Supreme Chapter directed that the "Bell" become the official public symbol for the fraternity and that it be examined as possible use in the secret and subordinate rituals. The new ritual was performed on Saturday night, and then approved at the first Supreme Chapter session. It was recommended that the 40th Supreme Chapter be held at the following locations, in the order of preference, Charlotte, N.C. ; Chicago, Ill; Atlanta, Ga. An outstanding Supreme Chapter closed with many changes, only a few which have been expressed here, but the strive for greatness was achieved. The gavel opened the Committee to Excellence and the gavel closed a Supreme Chapter and a promise of Excellence this year. 6, Editor's note: Oh, by the way, we voted ourselves the official fraternity of the 1984 Summer and Winter Olympics. I wonder who is really playing the games.
Alumni and Students raise their votes on the way to approving a record number of actions.

A SAFE INVESTMENT ,mowi WITH A GOOD DIVIDEND Do you have a will? If so, when is the last time you reviewed and updated it? A will is a person's lasting legacy. It insures that your plans and hopes for the future will be fulfilled. It specifies how you want your estate to be settled and who is to do it. It saves your family taxes, relieves their burdens and provides for their security. Death is inevitable and it does not discriminate. It is sad enough for loved ones without complicating it further by not having a will. Unfortunately, too many people put off drafting or updating a will. What could be more important? The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation can make it easier for you to give proper attention to your will. As a service to alumni, the Foundation has published a six page brochure that tells you, in simple, easy language, why you need a will, what information you will need to draft one, how to review and update your will so it will keep current, and if you like, how you can further the educational and leadership programs of your Fraternity. The brochure is free of charge and obligates you in no way. The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation "Brothers helping Brothers." P.O. Box 24056 Charlotte, NC 28224 (704)523-6000

THE BEST OF FRATERNITY: Dear Pi Kapp Editor, The article by Mike O'Donnell on a conclave for Area V was well done. I can only hope the article will awaken the social consciousness of responsible leaders, administrators, and persons in authority. It takes a lot of courage to point out the error of their ways to ones own constituency. Fraternally yours, Walter C. Avery Dear Pi Kapp Editor, I am pleased, although by no means satisfied, that examples of a problem involving the misuse of alcoholic beverages is being highlighted by The Star and Lamp. If a person cannot balance social needs with the course of study as well as investigate mores such as social drinking, a failure will undoubtedly occur. Then the person is due for a readjustment, either minor, or major-such as dropping out. The student, perhaps for the first time, has to consider performance versus finances or performance versus DWI,or performance versus "blackouts". Fraternally yours, Leonard J. Mance Dear Pi Kapp Editor, I felt I had to go out of my way to commend the courage of Michael O'Donnell in his report "The Best of Fraternity Wasted Away At Conclave". I firmly believe this should be required reading for each pledge and certainly prior to any person ready for initiation. The lesson there is most mature and extremely difficult for those in our late teens and early twenties to truly grasp. If our fraternal organization could
Dear Pi Kapp Editor, On a recent visit back to my chapter, Gamma Kappa at Georgia Southern College, I was able to reflect on brotherhood at its best in relation to a recent chapter accident. In March of this year Brother Jerry Reynolds was heading to Florida for Spring Break. His car went out of control and struck a bridge support pillar in Jacksonville, Florida. Listed in critical condition with multiple fractures, Jerry's life had changed dramatically. In response to Jerry's needs, the chapter came to his aid. Two chapter alumni in Jacksonville took it upon themselves to visit Jerry every day of his three week hospitalization. Two trips to surgery required 70 pints of blood. The chapter responded by paying the cost of Jerry's parents stay in Jacksonville, whenever not staying at another chapter member's parent's home. To defray the cost of over $15,000 for the blood the chapter organized an all Greek blood drive at Georgia Southern in which 160 pints were donated in Jerry's name. This cut the blood cost to under $2,000. A Jacksonville area alumnus, Steve Rawlins, who had been visiting Jerry regularly requested help from the chapter at Jacksonville University. They gave 25-plus more pints of blood. This surely shows that brotherhood can reach past individual fraternities. All of these efforts went to a brother in need. Jerry is doing extremely well now and when I saw him he was in great spirits among his brothers. In order to help anyone else down the road the Gamma Kappa Chapter would like to establish a blood bank account under the name of Pi Kappa Phi. It is to be an all Greek effort that any student at Georgia Southern could draw upon when in need. Needless to say throughout these events a number of parents have become supporters of Greek life. Fraternally, A proud alum

I am honored to be chosen your national president. This national council has some extraordinarily talented people serving you, and I am very enthusiastic about the outlook for the next two years. The superb leadership that our fraternity has enjoyed in the past leaves us a legacy which must be cherished. I pledge to you that your council will make every effort to do just that. The next two years are going to require a commitment to Pi Kappa Phi by our brotherhood such as we have never before exhibited. We are at the threshhold of greatness and we will cross that threshhold if we don't stop ourselves. There are no external limiting factors. As the famous cartoon character once said,"We have met the enemy and it is us". What then will be required over the next several years?

in the student chapters usually fail to provide that support upon gaining alumni status. I suggest that anyone gainfully employed could afford voluntary dues and that it is only the lack of commitment that inhibits a contribution. The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation is under dynamic leadership. The trustees would be the envy of any major corporate board of directors. The Foundation is the keystone to the future of Pi Kappa Phi and it is imperative that we recognize this. The only hope for a strong fraternity in perpetuity is the establishment of an endowment large enough to provide consistent income. Pi Kapp College is perhaps the best single thing that we do. It is the premier leadership school in the fraternity world! The costs of staging Pi Kapp College have risen astronomically over recent years. The foundation subsidizes Pi Kapp College but cannot afford to underwrite it fully. The Trustees have committed themselves to raising substantial funds over the next two years to increase their corpus. We as individuals have to commit to making contributions to the Foundation. Can you not afford a tax deductible gift of $25? $50? $100? $1000? Have you named the Foundation in your will? Insurance policy? Annuity? We must remove the burden from the backs of our students. Many chapters publish alumni newsletters under the auspices of C.A.R. (Continuing Alumni Relations). These newsletters are a service to alumni and your contributions to your chapter newsletter go directly to your local alumni organization. What a small price to pay for the benefit received. Any greater gift would bring smiles to the faces of your local alumni officers.
. . at the dog tracks, David thinks Pi Kappa Phi is off and running.
MONEY "There ain't no free lunch." We are one of the leaders of the interfraternity world in programming and yet we have financial resources that are only a fraction of the size of most top fraternities. We cannot continue to derive the bulk of our income from student fees, (initiation and pledging). During this past year the national council found it necessary to impose a $20.00 annual student fee in order to avoid operating at a substantial deficit. It would be easy to suggest cutting our expenses but two factors prohibit that step. First, our Executive Director operates our fraternity with such frugality that there is very little waste in our budget. Second, our brotherhood has made it clear that their overwhelming desire is to expand our quality programming and climb to that pinnacle of excellence we so zealously covet. One hope that last year's council had was that upon graduation many students would convert their annual fee to an annual voluntary dues contribution. Though our annual voluntary dues receipts have continued to grow, it has not been in proportion to the growth that we have experienced in total membership. It is tragically ironic that those who complained the most about the lack of alumni support when they were
ALUMNI PROGRAMMING One of our weakest areas is in alumni programming. The National Council and the Administrative Office staff have resolved to work diligently in this area. The primary responsibility, however, is yours. Local alumni associations should be alive and vibrant. It doesn't take much work or time involvement to have a successful vehicle through which we can sustain our fraternal experience. The simplest events are the best ones. What is truly important is the assembly of Pi Kappa Phi alumni for the purpose of enjoying each others' company and supporting the activities of the fraternity. Where there are no alumni associations you need to form them. Where we already have associations you need to participate in them to insure their success. The Administrative Office staff is anxious to assist in any way.
RITUAL The heart and soul of Pi Kappa Phi is our ritual of initiation, unchanged in its basic precepts since its inception. We are charged with certain responsibilities. Have we really upheld our share of the burden? If you have not witnessed a ritual recently you should do so this year. The chapters would be glad to have you there and may even ask you to participate if you desire. The lessons of the ritual are as valid in later life as they are to a typical eighteen year old college freshman. A renewed vow to Pi Kappa Phi is a renewed vow to succeed in your personal life as well. The inspiration of the ceremony is moving. Your presence at this important occasion also lends credence to the belief that our entire order is centered around the ritual. You cannot leave anything more valuable to the fraternity than this lesson which will be passed to generations of brothers who follow.
the seriousness with which our Brotherhood treats our future. This legislative assembly (primarily students) set uncompromising standards for us to follow. They are demanding a commitment to excellence. There is some way that you can contribute. Time, money, advice, presence, experience...the list goes on. You are being challenged to give something to Pi Kappa Phi. It won't be enough to do so quietly. It will be necessary for you to encourage other brothers to join you. Only then can we climb to the pinnacle of excellence. Only then is our future assured. Founder L. Harry Is,lixson once said, "...the future we leave with you." The future is now. The decision is yours. ism,

GUIDANCE Your experience and skills are sorely needed by the students. We are desperate for increased alumni involvement. Whether you offer your time as a Chapter Advisor or in a more limited role the impact on the chapter is significant. You can offer so much and take pleasure in knowing that you are helping shape the future of this country's leadership. A few hours a year from a large number of alumni is meaningful and also shows our student brothers that we care.
Service to mankind. Those three words are enough to justify our existence. With our unique national philanthropy we have managed to pioneer areas never before travelled. Our student chapters have supported P.U.S.H. with ever increasing enthusiasm and money. P.U.S.H. units have received national acclaim for their application in the enhancement of the lives of the severely handicapped. There are many children who are experiencing sensations never before felt because thousands of Pi Kapps cared. Our chapters are drawn together in fraternal bonds because they work and play together to raise funds and promote P.U.S.H. It is our individual responsibility to support P.U.S.H. in every way possible. It is my belief that P.U.S.H. will shove Pi Kappa Phi over the threshhold of greatness.

DURWARD,HOW DID THE VOLUNTARY DUES PROGRAM BEGIN? Early in 1961 Ted Scharfenstein and I had a retreat attended just by the two of us. We evaluated the future of a 42 chapter fraternity with minimal income and even less cash assets. Realizing that membership in the long run constitutes a fraternity, the first priority had to be expansion, both internally and externally. In order to accomplish that, a second priority was given to money, and particularly fundraising. The second being necessary in order to accomplish the first. Previous to 1961,except for one or two isolated efforts in the '20s and '30s,alumni, once initiated as undergraduates, were never asked to contribute financially to the ongoing of the fraternity. I ask the question "Why not?". In fact, there was a letter on file in which a former Executive Director had indicated that the concept of voluntary dues for the alumni of the fraternity would not work due to the initial promise of lifetime membership; and even if it did it would take many years before the cost of such a project would be recouped from the income it would provide. I thought that nothing ventured would be nothing gained. Certainly financial participation on the part of alumni was a significant gain if it could be obtained. The National Council gave me the permission to spend $400 from our meager budget for
such an effort. I chose the alumni of Xi, Roanoke; Chi, Stetson; Alpha Xi, Brooklyn; and Alpha Zeta, Oregon State, as the population for the experiment. At that time I had little knowledge of fundraising, especially the technical aspect of same. I read all I could in a hurry, but the best I could come up with was a mimeographed letter, with not much polish as far as content. Miracles do happen for that meager
The Hall of Fame Two accomplished alumni have joined Brothers Tom Wolf, Howard Baker and Wallace Butts in the PKP Hall of Fame. Glen Porter Brock, Upsilon No. 11, retired in 1977 after 66 years of service in 52 jobs in the railroad industry. He started as a cost accountant with Gulf, Mobile, and Northern Railroad upon graduation from the University of Illinois in 1921. Soon he was general manager, and afterwards Vice-
of Alabama. It is from that state that Randy acquired the name for his band, Alabama, in the 1970's. Randy loved to entertain his PKP brothers at Jacksonville State by singing and playing his guitar. Alabama was then formed, travelling throughout the South. He finally settled in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where the hat was often passed as their only form of pay. In 1981, Alabama played a benefit

With this success in hand we made an. other experimental effort the next year, this time a mailing to the entire membership of the Fraternity. Again, lacking expertise we had a minimal effective mailing; however, it did bring in $6,518 at a cost of $1,250. We must have been doing something right. Then, taking advice and counsel from John Wilson, Eta, of the American Red Cross and later Richard Viguerie, Beta Mu, a political fundraiser, we developed a semi-obligatory program, enticing repitition of giving. This has developed a giving population within the alumni of Pi Kappa Phi. At this time we raise in excess of $80,000 each year and the operation of the Fraternity could not do without this funding. I am pleased that I decided to ask the question "Why not?".

I was always one to try something new. So why not travel 1,000 miles to work for a Fraternity? "Work for a Fraternity," my Dad screamed. "I thought you would outgrow that kind of thing when you graduated." As Secretary to the Foundation and successor to Mike O'Donnell, I began here in Charlotte in a challenging position. Not being Leah Hataway 1983 graduate of the University of Missouri a Pi Kapp, naturally, I started from scratch, learning who Harry Mixson,Andrew Kroeg,and Durward Owen were (I guess I forgot Simon in there). I quickly discovered that the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity was indeed a distinguished Fraternity and a great source of pride for all its Brothers. But the Foundation has yet felt that distinction, has not yet grown to the point where each associate member is truly knowledgeable about its mission and programs. In the past two years, the Foundation has been reborn from an unspoken, virtually inactive entity into a recognizable, increasingly important aspect of Pi Kappa Phi. It is my goal that the Foundation continues its independence streak — building its endowment to provide the educational services that are so beneficial and vital during the undergraduate years. I'll never forget my undergraduate experience with the Pi Kapps — collecting money for P.U.S.H., the Little Sister car washes, the chapter meetings(Yes, I attended a few when invited), and the heart-to-heart talks with my Little Brother and other Brothers. I recently graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, bound and determined to replace Barbara Walters as the queen of TV news. But a big heart led me to follow my Pi Kapp Sweetheart to the Carolinas. And a Mizzou Brother, Jay Stuckel, Chapter Consultant, led me to the Administrative Office.
N.C. Since that time, Randy's songs have been selected as country music songs of the year, Alabama albums have been named albums of the year, and Alabama as a group has been named Country Music Entertainer of the Year.

IIIt has got to make you feel good"
Bob Inman checks his watch while writing a story. He can't be late before the cameras!
"Camera one", exclaims the director, "we'll be going from camera one!" As the studio lights dim they exchange their illumination with the sun-bright spotlights. "Fifteen seconds", says the director as he points to camera one. The red light flashes its warning. The director jerks his hand forward like a sling shot from camera one to the newscaster sitting intently behind the desk. As camera one slowly moves in, every Pi Kapp watching shares a secret smile because this anchorman is wearing, with pride, his Pi Kapp tie. This man in front of the camera and behind the tie, is not only the anchorman for Charlotte WBTV news, is not only a brother, is not only the voice behind the "This is Pi Kappa Phi" and "P.U.S.H." slide shows, he is Bob Inman, National Chairman of Project P.U.S.H. Bob sums up his involvement in Project P.U.S.H. in an important way."From all we know, the units do change lives," he says. "The kids get on a unit and react in so many ways, all of them positive." If the nightly news were to become the Bob Inman show, the camera's red

light would indicate "live" in the dark, musty, and loudly clanging printing room of the hometown newspaper in Elba, Ala. Bob, with ink under his fingernails and every place else, would be setting type, as a printer's devil, and running that day's edition of the Elba Clipper on an ancient and clattering linotype that survived the great Elba flood in 1929. Bob is a young and energetic seventh grader. Camera two would show Bob Inman in high school, still working for the Elba Clipper. School activities and sports are his reporting interests. Yet, he is also a correspondent reporter for the Montgomery Daily covering stories from his little hometown. The turning point came in tenth grade, when the first radio station was built in Elba. The camera would now glide to scenes of Bob at the University of Alabama, a major in radio and television. As the eldest of four kids, Bob had to work during school. Having a background in communications, he worked 6:00 p.m. till midnight at the local radio stations. "I never had a choice about being a Pi

Kapp," Bob says. Elba was a stronghold for the Fraternity. The student body president from Alabama was a Pi Kapp and rushed Bob heavily. "I pledged at a summer rush party having never looked at another fraternity." Bob's fraternity experience, he felt, was as rich as anybody else's. He played extremely hard on the weekends. He did find enough time to serve as Chaplain and several terms as Pledge Warden. After graduation, he found himself at the Alabama state capitol covering George Wallace and the Civil Rights movement. The time; the militant 1965. Bob says, "it was a time when you learned journalism on the front line. Newsmen were often caught in the cross fire. I was chased out of town a few times, sometimes by both sides." The 1968 camera has Albert Brewer as the Governor of Alabama, and Bob Inman as his press secretary. "I was 23, wet behind the ears, and the youngest press secretary in the nation." Bob lost the prestigious Press Secretary's job when 1970 brought George Wallace back to the Governor's Mansion. Bob moved on to Charlotte, N.C. and closer to Pi Kappa Phi. After a commercial break and a trip back to graduate school Phil Tappy,chairman of project P.U.S.H., asked Bob to become a member of the P.U.S.H. board in 1979. "The fraternity sparked my interest in groups gathering in communities and neighborhoods," says Bob. "It is very important that the association one belongs to does something meaningful." It was this interest and belief that moved Bob to join the P.U.S.H. board and in 1981 to become the new chairman. Bob's emphasis in P.U.S.H. has always been the same,"I'm very big on the chapter's work, period". He explains that our community can do things to help others and it is important that each individual member have the experience of doing something outside the chapter. If a member does not receive the lesson of giving, then his fraternity experience has been short-changed. "The very soul of this project is how the chapters raise their money." Bob has seen the project through very pivotal times. In his almost two years as Chairman he has seen a doubling of donations from $35,000 to over $80,000, the placement of many units in new geographical areas, the first Foundation and bequest gifts, and the decision to hire a full time administrator for Project P.U.S.H. The project has come a long way, Bob explains. It started by only needing an administrator a small part of the time. It grew rapidly to occupy half the time and now to a full-time position. "I came on when the project was really in its infancy"

SENATOR GLEN F. McCONNELL
Glen McConnell, Alpha No. 364, College of Charleston.
The new Pi Kappa Phi Ritual is due to the efforts and energy of the members of the interim Bell Committee and the Ritual and Insignia Committee, which was chaired by Sen. Glen F. McConnell. Glen F. McConnell, Alpha, is a 1969 graduate of the College of Charleston and a 1972 graduate of the U. S. C. School of Law. As an undergrad, Glen served Alpha in just about every position including Historian, Treasurer, Secretary and Archon. Glen has continued his Pi Kapp dedication by serving as Chapter Advisor, Housing Corporation President, Area Councillor, Area Governor, and receiving the outstanding Alumni Award along with the National Award of Area Governor of the Year. Glen, when not debating the South Carolina state budget, is a partner in a law firm in North Charleston. He is also active in the American Legislative Exchange Council and is a Past Republican County Chairman. Glen was also a delegate to the 1980 Republican National Convention. Glen, who was on his sixth trip to a Supreme Chapter, did an outstanding job as chairman of the Ritual and Insignia Committee restoring and perfecting a beautiful new ritual.

he begins, "and now the baby has not only outgrown the crib but we need designer Tom Sayre to design a double bed!" "Where will Project P.U.S.H. go?" says Bob. "It will go anywhere the chapters want it to," and then adding quickly,"and anywhere the imagination of Tom Sayre sees it going." Bob feels strongly about the placement of P.U.S.H. units and sees the need to expand across the country. Each individual student needs to identify with the units. "The placement of units in the northeast and Idaho was an important step and we would like to get one as soon as we can in California." He added with chagrin,"We have got to put one in Florida! Wherever we put one the chapters in those areas flower, but Florida flowered before a unit was placed and we need to reward them." When a new administrator is chosen, Bob feels its time to step down as chairman. New blood, ideas, and experience is needed. His hope is to stay active on the board but to stretch out to other areas of the Fraternity. The P.U.S.H. board is convinced that there is enough money for the administrator to pay for himself in two years. "It is important that the chapters understand the money they raise will always be earmarked for the deploying of the P.U.S.H. units." "All we need is a research grant from the Ford Foundation, or the government and we are on our way." Bob feels that P.U.S.H. has the potential for a greater involvement in many different aspects of human behavior. When and if Bob Inman resigns from the chairmanship of P.U.S.H., the camera will pull slowly back and allow Bob to spend more time with the other things he loves. He still works strange hours. From 3:00 p.m. to midnight he runs to each staff member to make sure that each segment of his show is ready. But Bob loves to run around his home, too. In his spare time he runs 20-25 miles three days a week and jealously guards his weekends to spend with his wife and two daughters. The voice in front of camera one has been read in the Elba Clipper, heard on the Pi Kappa Phi slide shows, and listened to on the nightly news. But Bob
Inman's voice, ideas, and energy have touched the lives of many Pi Kapps and P.U.S.H. children. "It's got to feel good. To stand on a street corner or push a wheelchair for fifty hours, or whatever they do; and see the money they raised translate into the changing of lives. The quality of their lives is improved. In God's sight they are just as important. To them,turning on a light, is just as much a creative and rewarding act as the novel I'm attempting to write. We are changing lives, we know it works, and it has got to make you feel good." 6v
SENATOR HINTON MITCHEM Called a constituent's dream by the Huntersville Times, State Senator Hinton Mitchem began his political career in 1974 when he was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives. He is presently serving his second term as State Senator being elected in 1978 and again in 1982. Sen. Mitchem is the chairman of the Senate Finance and Taxation Committee, which is not easy to do in the time of budget cuts in all state budgets. Hinton Mitchem is a native of Georgia and a 1961 graduate of the University of Georgia and Lambda chapter. Sen. Mitchem's activities were as varied as his busy schedule allowed. His major activities were athletics, competing in fraternity intramurals. He won the all-fraternity 100 yard dash and broad jump in 1960 and lettered in varsity baseball. With all this "running around", Hinton Mitchem found enough time to serve as chaplain. "I'm real proud to be a Pi Kapp," Sen. Mitchem says. He explains, "When I moved to Alabama the extension of Pi Kapp brotherhood from Auburn Chapter helped me get settled in my new state and establish my political career." Sen. Mitchem is a family man and a business man. He has a wife and three children, is the owner of Ford Tractor Company and is a partner in Radio Station WKFX.

The National Council of Pi Kappa Phi understands the impact of alcohol abuse, and the legal implications of this problem. Pi Kappa Phi classifies alcohol as a mind-altering substance which can result in damaging behaviors similar to those caused by illegal drugs. Pi Kappa Phi defines abuse of alcohol as the type of overuse which causes irresponsible behavior, a dangerous loss of reaction time, sickness, and damage to personal relationships. This abuse may be a solitary incident or a chronic behavior pattern. Pi Kappa Phi views alcohol abuse as a serious social/personal problem in America, with impacts on personal health, career development, academic achievement, friendships, and family relationships. Pi Kappa Phi believes that alcohol abuse prevents individual members from realizing their fullest potential for exhibiting leadership ability and from exemplifying the characteristics of brotherhood. Alcohol abuse also lowers chapter morale and produces a negative image of our fraternity to other campus organizations, the local community, and potential future brothers. Alcohol abuse inhibits a chapter from growing into a healthy fraternal organization. THEREFORE Pi Kappa Phi is firmly committed to membership behaviors which are not under the influence of alcohol abuse. Pi Kappa Phi will make alcohol abuse education a part of the training of all members. Pi Kappa Phi will adopt a national policy which details the guidelines for responsible reaction and proaction to the potential problem of alcohol abuse among its members. Pi Kappa Phi continues its policy of promoting positive chapter behaviors through education, consulting/monitoring assistance to chapters, maintaining chapter standards, and requiring that all chapters adhere to all the school regulations and applicable laws. Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity opposes alcohol use at functions which are broadly advertised to the public outside the Fraternity and its potential members.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY The Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is committed to excellence on both the chapter and national levels. The reputation of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity depends primarily upon the quality of its constituent chapters. It is recognized that certain minimum chapter standards must be met by all chapters for the good of the order. The 38th Supreme Chapter held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, strengthened these standards as outlined in Law VI, Section 24, of the Supreme Laws. The responsibility of enforcement of these standards has been entrusted to the National Council of the fraternity. The average chapter size of 36 members is significantly lower than the other major fraternities. Thirty-one of our ninety-seven chapters have membership below 26, sixteen of which have membership below 19. The National Council has been too lenient in enforcing the minimum chapter standards as provided in the Supreme Laws of the Fraternity. THEREFORE
Where does my dollar go?

The Nu Phi Society gathers at the Alpha Black Tie Banquet.
The Nu Phi Society was established this year to recognize those members who have attended five or more meetings of the Supreme Chapter. Forty nine distinguished Pi Kapps are eligible for membership; twenty-three dined together in Mobile for the first of the black tie banquet traditions. Traditions are the basis for the society.
The first meeting of the students at the College of Charleston in 1904 was initially to be called the Nu Phi, instead they became the founding members of Pi Kappa Phi. It became traditional to meet, dine, share laughs, fine drink and cheer, and lament on Fraternity ideals. The Nu Phi Society in keeping with this, tailored the menu of the Alpha Banquet as close

to that of which the founders feasted, (mock turtle soup, broiled blue fish, and fried soft crabs). Each new member was presented with an engraved medallion, a symbol of honor, to be worn at each Nu Phi gathering. A Supreme Archon, Karl Gibbon, Upsilon, was chosen, as eldest member, to lead the
